HealthSouth hosts stroke recovery seminar - Peoria, IL

Do not be polite in the Q&A session. You need to hammer the presenters asking for detailed statistics on recovery; tPA full recovery, 30 day deaths, 100% recovery. Ask them what they are doing to solve all these fucking problems in stroke. If they don't leave the presentation asking what hit them you didn't ask hard enough questions or weren't incredulous enough at their non answers. Yes, I'm a real bastard, but we are talking neurons dying and no way to recover functionality. They are complicit in those failures.
If you have to go to this because you haven't completely recovered in one year that is complete failure on your doctor and hospital. Hammer them on that, why are they so fucking incompetent? NO EXCUSES ARE ALLOWED.
